Granite Chips From GranltevlIle.


Ed. Register-A few items from our town
this week will do no harm.
The Syenite Granite Company are getting
everything i'm shape for the new stone cutting
shed, which they expect to arrive about the
18th or Goth of this month. Mr., John Lind
90; ms he new switch and the track about
completed.
We had pay day on last Wednesday. The
company has about $40 men on the payroll.
and disbursed about $25OOO.00 for the month
of March. Their freight bills on shipments
of stone amounted to over twelve thousand
dollars, which is not bad showing.
N.Y. friend, Collier, says it was not the girl
that attracted him, but his former boarding
mistress told HIM he had to clean the snow
from his feet was why he moved bis baggage.
Say, George, that excuse is too thin; you
must find stronger one than that.
Frank c. says he is not a masher. But
who is that little, dark-eyed beauty that the
"Owl" saw you talking to over the counter?
But see Frank has taken the "Owl's" adj
vice, as he has made another trip to Farm
iugton.
Mr.. Calvert has purchased q full rig con-
sisting of horse, buggy and harness from
Messrs. Foley & O'Brien, and 1 suppose he
will keep the road between Graniteville and
Ironton hot from this on.
j. j. Dyer has gone east on some official
business. The writer wishes you pleasant
time and success, Joseph.
All of the men that came from Quin:y,
Mass, to do the polished work for the new
1. o. o. F. building in st. Louis, having fin
ished the job, return to their former homes
in the east the coming week.

Democrats of Southeast Missouri!

Democrats of Southeast Missouri!
You who have plumed yourselves up
on adherence tn principle and feaIty to
party platforms, how is ;t with you?
You elected thirty-five men as men,
bers of the General Assembly of the
State, you, and each of them, pledged
by your party's platform to the rem
edying of abuses, to the regulation OF
railroads, the forbidding, by law, of
discrimination between shippers by
common carriers, and legislation for
the just settlement of disputes between
employers and employees.
Have you and yonr representatives
carried out your pledges, made last
summer?
Your representatives, with one hon
orable exception, voted in disregard of
your interests, in disregard of justice,
in disregard of the constitution, and in
disregard of the fifth article of the party
platform adopted by your last State
Convention, in defeating all railroad
legislation at the legislative session just
closed.
But you and they have another
chance of redemption. That unpur-
chasable man, John s. Marmaduke,
Governor of the State, has issued a
proclamation converting the Legisla-
ture for the 18th of May, 1887, for the
consideration of these things.
Your representatives are in your
midst; you can call them to account for
their disregard Of their promises and
their party's platform. Reason and
demonstrate with them privately. If
that is not successful, call meetigs of
the people and let the people then adopt
resolutions asking their representatives
to regard our interests and our party's
pledges. Do this and the passage of
the proper laws in this behalf is assur-
ed, and you the people are to be credit
ed Herewith; fail herein. and it will go
forth that the people of the Southeast
approve of Democracy's being domin-
ated by Gould's hired agents.
The right and the wrong is before
you, men of Southeast Missouri.

Ed Register-Since my iast there has been
but little growing weather.
Oats sown from ten days to two weeks ago
are just beginning to come up, and since last
Sunday afternoon we have had considerable
snow for this month and cold winds prevail

the low temperature of the past few days all
hopes of peaches have been abandoned for
this year. The prospects OF an average wheat
crop are good.
Some of the farmers hereabouts are await

corn, while others are breaking ground and
| making preparations for planting as soon as
| they can.
